Jeffrey began his career working in a Chicago diner at the age of 13, where he was inspired to create food experiences for customers. He quickly decided that he would make food his life and hoped to one day open a restaurant of his own. This dream became reality when he began formal chef training at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, as well as the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. Jeffrey then opened Sweet Heat, a Mexican restaurant in San Francisco. After the restaurant became a hit, Jeffrey opened two additional locations before moving on to become a partner in Pasta Pomodoro Italian restaurants, where he was instrumental in the opening of the first dozen of the 40-plus restaurants in the chain.

Jeffrey is a passionate family man and has mastered the art of balanced living. He is a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
